The new compact SUV from Toyota features a twin-slate grille with angular chrome frame that’s inspired by the Fortuner SUV. The new dual-tone bumper with in-built faux bull bar appears more pronounced and its faux skid plate has bushed metal effect. Elements such as 16-inch diamond cut alloy wheels, fog lamp assembly and glossy black ORVMs further enhance its sporty looks. The Urban Cruiser looks exactly similar to the Vitara Brezza when viewed from the side and rear.
Interior details of the Toyota Urban Cruiser are still under the wraps. Though, it’s likely to receive minor changes include lighter shade theme and new seat upholstery. The higher trims will have some exclusive features to offer such as a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with latest smartphone connectivity and voice commands, leather wrapped steering wheel, height adjustable front seatbelts, front centre armrest, audio system with 4 speakers and 2 tweeter, rain sensing wipers and reverse parking camera.

For power, the new Toyota compact SUV will use the Vitara Brezza’s 1.5L, 4-cylinder K15B petrol engine that’s good enough for 105bhp and 138Nm of torque. The same powertrain does duty in the Ciaz sedan, Ertiga and XL6 MPVs. The model lineup will be offered with a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. One must note that the Suzuki’s SHVS mild hybrid system will be available only with the automatic variants.
